DIY Bali Flares

Hello...the other day I was browsing the Free People Catalog online and instantly fell in love with the Discharge Bali Flare Jeans!!!

Discarge Bali Fare

Unfortunately as a "starving artist''...there's no way i can afford them.....but, as a "starving artist", i can make them! So I took and old pair of jeans and went crazy!

Here's what you'll need...

 an old pair of flairs

off white fabric paint

or akrylic paint mixed with fabric paint medium

cotton swabs

white chalk

and LOTS of time!

before

                                               

 use the white chalk to make the design

The cotton swab will be used as your paint brush

i would suggest that you add water if you want a worn or faded look

use different stamps and brushes if you choose.

These are based on the Free People jeans, not an exact replica...

so make them your own!

This project is time consuming but so, so worth it !

                                  

This is the end result!            

              

Wash them  first for a faded look but make sure you iron them to prevent too much fading!!!!

                                                                

i hope that you'll enjoy wearing these pants as much as i do!!!!
